A RESPONSE FROM DR. RUSSELL REID

http://russellreid. blogspot. com

In response to all the messages of support so far, UK and Worldwide renowned Psychiatrist, Dr Russell Reid, has written to Transsexual UK to say, "I am so grateful for the setting up of the blog 'In Support of Dr. Russell Reid'." He added, "After a long and arduous week, I was thrilled to read all the messages this morning and I am overwhelmed by the positive responses that everyone has given." He also said that "the messages have been immensely helpful to me and they have had the effect of restoring my morale. I just can't tell you how grateful I am." In finishing, Russell had this say, "I know the messages are now in the public domain; I have already printed them all off to pass on to my solicitor and barrister on Monday morning, and I expect all of them to be shown to the GMC panel." Dr Russell Reid is unable to comment further on anything relating to the case being heard in front of the GMC panel.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP...

Transsexual UK urges trans people in the UK and around the World, whether they have received treatment or not from Dr. Reid, to strongly consider leaving a message of support at the blog site, found at http://russellreid. blogspot. com.

It's already shown that these comments are extremely helpful in several ways.

Dr. Reid has long been a world renowned psychiatrist for transsexual people, and who is currently under a five week trial by the General Medical Council. He has helped countless transsexual people over the years. According to Peter Tatchell, (Human Rights Activist), disciplinary proceedings against this leading sex-change doctor bring shame to the medical profession. More information can be found via the links on the blogspot website.

Please re-distribute this email to everyone you know would be interested in hearing about this case and in providing the necessary support to Dr. Reid.

Warm Regards,
